Sir Mick crashed into the top ten singles chart for the first time in 27 years.

The former Rolling Stone sings on Will.i.amâs The Hardest Ever, which debuted at No.3.Â

The electro track, which also features Jennifer Lopez , is a million miles from the rock n roll he is usually associated with.

A new generation of music-lovers will now know the wrinkly lothario as ‘the old man dancing at the end’ of the glossy video.

Older fans might be amazed to see the 68-year old doing his trademark strut against a bright backdrop, and leaving trails of electronic shadows in his wake.

Mick Jagger gets his wriggle on in the video for The Hardest Ever.

The pensioner proves he’s still got the snake hips that used to drive women wild in his 1960s heydey.

The final glimpse of the groovy grandad is a close up of his wide open mouth – implying that Will.i.am’s spaceship has just flown inside.

The Rolling Stones haven’t been in the top 10 since 1981 with Start Me Up, and the last time Mick found solo success was in 1985 when he teamed up with David Bowie for a new version of Martha and the Vandalla’s Dancing In The Street.

He told TheOfficialCharts.com: ‘We had a great time recording the track and I’m glad that UK music lovers are liking it.’
